Steven A. Cavitt, 25, was shot multiple times and died after an early-morning shooting on October 16, 2021, in downtown Spokane near Riverside and Washington. Spokane Police found Cavitt with severe gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead there.

Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation with 24-year-old Diandre R. Johnson. Witnesses reported seeing Johnson carry a gun in his sweatshirt and engage physically with Cavitt before Johnson allegedly shot him and fled. Johnson was arrested three days later as he exited a store; officers found him armed and noted he was out on bail for a prior first-degree assault charge from April 2020. He was booked into the Spokane County Jail on a charge of second-degree murder. The SPD Major Crimes Unit credited community tips in leading to the arrest.

Are there details from that night or the downtown area that anyone can share that might help clarify what happened?
